Scratchpad: Social Networking Applications for Virtual Worlds

Two blog posts in one day about virtual worlds being ripe for the social networking applications: Csven's on Linked-In avatars and Wonderland's on MySpace-like MyMMOG. The wish list so far:

• A LinkedIn group for avatars or have "Second Life" as a choice of country.
• SMS (text messaging) to avatar inboxes
• In-world browser (EVE seems to have one, SL is working on theirs)
  
• Inter-world instant messaging
• Virtual world to real world instant messaging (Pearbook is working on it)
• One from me: a Craigslist section for virtual worlds.
